Joyeux Noel Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am delighted to help you explore the Joyeux Noel Hunt, a gridwide adventure that has us looking for small red gift boxes between $0L - $2L apiece. The hunt's website has all of our landmarks as well as hints and preview images, to guide us along the hunt path and help us track down all of the gifts. Maybe Santa got lost while doing some shopping and dropped our presents in all of these stores? I can't blame him for wanting to visit these wonderful shops, and I think you will enjoy your time at each too. 

My first look of the evening is one of two gifts found at ~MystRie~, both of which are free! This is their Vintage Winter Female gift, which starts with the coat dress in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. The gift also includes the fur handwarmer with built in pose, and the adjustable hat in a matching snowy fur texture. On the right you can see what the dress looks like on its own, as the handwarmer was hiding the pretty belt that is a part of the dress. There is a male gift too, and it is pictured on the website with hints for both.

Next we have the chic prize from Simple Terms, their ST - Christmas Vixen Coat Outfit. It is designed for the Maitreya body, and consists of the coat, boots, and leggings. Since they are individual pieces, you can wear all of them together or mix and match to suit your tastes. Red is a fun choice for the holidays, and always looks so elegant with black. This prize is a very affordable $2L. 

Ho ho ho! The $2L prize from Good Vibes is their Festive Red Christmas Wishes outfit. Its strapless dress comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, and the ankle boots are unrigged so you can adjust them. I hid my feet with the HUD from my Maitreya body, just to make things quicker :) This look certainly lives up to the festive description in its title!

Put some sparkle into your holiday season with the prize from DW Design, called Let it Snow Trench Coat with Heels. Find the free red gift box and you will receive the hooded coat in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing. You will also find the matching shoes inside, sized for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High feet, as well as a snow particle emitter that you just "add" and let it surround you with delicate flakes. You can simply leave it off if you prefer, although I think it added something to this photo :)

My final look of the evening is from [Ari-Pari] at their store's new location, and it is called Snowflake Knit Dress. It has been created specifically for this hunt, and costs only $1L when you find the red box. The formfitting sweater dress comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and there is a HUD provided with 8 pattern colors and 8 matching colors for the trim. The classic snowflake pattern looks terrific here, and I am a big fan of those color HUDs for added variety.

My day was quiet, and I am feeling a little bit better...my stomach has been calmer, but I still have a sore throat that might be from allergies. I am trying to rearrange RL things to make time for a post of Advent gifts, just to give everyone an idea of what is out there, and it looks like tomorrow night's post will wind up being about 8 hours later in the morning to allow the SL clock to reach midnight then give me time to pop around the grid and claim gifts, unpack them, take photos, prep them, and write the blog post. It throws me off kilter, as you can tell LOL, but it's worth the effort because I really do enjoy sharing the Advent opportunities. So I will see all of you Tuesday morning instead of Monday night, and I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
